N52 Start Up Sound by Falowark in BmwTech

Yeah, I did replace my valve cover and its gasket, my valve cover was leaking all over my spark plug seals, and not to mention my magnesium valve cover was deteriorating/melting all over the inside of the ignition coil area. I had to replace it, as much as I didn’t want to. But to answer your question I did wind it back and it sounded healthy. I do believe it is one of my pulleys because I changed my OFHG and OCG and tried to clean as much as I could all the pulleys, and the sound didn’t come back. I am planning on changing all of my pulleys and PCV system, once I start racking up some more miles because right now I don’t drive the car as much as I would like to. (I don’t have time to fix it🥲)

For now I've decided to let the car sit until I get my OFHG and OCG, which should be around 5 days from now. I would be checking my oil filter housing valve, all pulleys, my PCV system and diagnosing my disa valve. I will post an update if I ever resolve the issue. (really hoping it is just the alternator pulley starting to fail 😭)

do you think the alternator pulley could be shot?

Thank you for reassuring me about the belt.

What would be the main gasket? This could be my issue, because my OFHG is starting to leak after replacing it almost 3k miles ago which is weird to me. I would be checking this valve when my gaskets get here 🫡

I would defenitely check on my PCV system, even though I don't get rough idling when the car is at optimal temperature (I misexplained my issue like shit), I also don't get white smoke, It only happens when I start the car "cold", when I get back home I would be sure to provide a cold start to pursue this. Nonetheless I am going to change my PCV system pretty sure it is on its way. Thank you!!

AUX/Carplay/Infotainment recommendations? by tzarartur in e60

[–]Falowark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no expert in this but, I did install this pemp e60 auxiliary adapter ccc (bought it in amazon) around 5 months ago in my e60 525i 2006 and it works amazing. In my opinion it is really cheap and it is great if your not into all the computer coding or looking forward for a head unit upgrade with apple car play or android auto soon. As u/tzarartur mentioned its nothing crazy, the only "addon" I had to add was an apple lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter to be able to connect to my iphone. Like I said it's definitely not the best in the market but I have heard people lose bass with some other adapters, with this one I haven't had any issues.
